Fintech is a phrase becoming increasingly prevalent in
today’s hyper-connected business world. Many global experts expect that
somewhere between 2 to 6 million jobs will be lost over the next decade due to
some of the technologies within this space, such as Artificial Intelligence
(AI) and blockchain. With 72% of all FinTech startups hailing from four main
MENA nations, and the UAE being amongst these, there is a regional drive to
become the main FinTech hub. Dubai is leading the way with the recent introducing
of the HIVE accelerator within the DIFC, and supporting many ground breaking
tech firms in locating their regional base within Dubai.
